The half-life of Germanium-68 (Ge-68) is 270.95 days[1][9]. This radioisotope is utilized in various diagnostic applications, including the production of Germanium-68/Gallium-68 (Ge-68/Ga-68) generators for extracting the radioisotope Ga-68[1][3][7]. Additionally, research studies have provided determinations of the Ge-68 half-life, with values around 271 days[2][4][5][8]. The information is crucial for applications in radiometric calibration and the in-hospital production of Gallium-68[9][7].
